Description
The Honda CR-V has long been the sort of car that simply gets on with things, and this example continues that tradition with a quiet sense of competence.
Finished in grey and having covered 52,996 miles, it also benefits from a full Honda service history?which, in many ways, is exactly what you want with something like this. It suggests a life of proper care and attention, rather than neglect and vague promises.
Under the bonnet is Honda?s 2.0-litre i-MMD hybrid system, a piece of engineering that feels less like a compromise and more like a well-thought-out solution. It moves between petrol and electric power with a smoothness that makes conventional gear changes seem faintly outdated, all while delivering respectable efficiency for a car of this size.
Inside, it?s spacious in the way a proper family car ought to be. There?s room for people, luggage, and the assorted paraphernalia of modern life, all presented in a cabin that is solid, sensible, and pleasingly free of unnecessary nonsense. Being the EX model, it comes generously equipped, but without feeling overcomplicated.
On the road, it?s calm, composed, and reassuringly predictable.
It doesn?t try to dazzle you. Instead, it focuses on being dependable?and succeeds rather well at it.
